Last time these two teams met in Dallas, Dennis Smith Jr. had his tooth knocked out by Patrick Beverley. The Mavericks won that game, and they were victorious once again Tuesday, claiming a 106-98 victory.

The Clippers didn’t turn the ball over much, but the opposition capitalized at all the right times. Dallas converted Los Angeles’ eight turnovers into 23 points.

Harrison Barnes led all scorers with 20 points. Luka Doncic and Smith each chipped in 17 points. Smith had missed the past six games because of a back injury and illness while also being at the center of trade rumors.

The Clippers were ice-cold, shooting just 36.3 percent from the field. Beverley led Los Angeles in scoring with 16 points.

Dallas improved to 21-26 while Los Angeles dropped to 25-22.
